“First test in the sands of Lower Goru Formation flowed 5.9 to 7.4 mmscfd of gas along with 40 to 54 barrels per day of condensate at different choke sizes, thus confirming the presence of commercial quantities of natural gas and condensate at Wafiq X-1,” a PPL statement said.
“Second test, which is in progress, initially flowed 16.8 mmscfd of gas along with 144 barrels per day of condensate.”
The well is located in Block 2568-18 (Gambat South) where PPL is the operator with a 65% stake along with joint venture partners Government Holdings (Private) Limited and Asia Resources Oil Limited with 25% and 10% interest, respectively.
Exploration well Wafiq X-1 was drilled on February 17 this year and reached final depth of 3,550 metres on May 21. “Based on wire line logs several hydrocarbon bearing zones were identified which are being tested,” it said.
The exploration companies will be carrying out more tests to see how much production can be increased.
